So..., I think I figured out why "systemctl stop bluetooth" sometimes works to disable BT thru a suspend/wake cycle, and sometimes not.
If you turn OFF BT using the GNOME settings, regardless of whether or not you do a "systemctl stop bluetooth"..., BT will ALWAYS be turned back ON after a suspend/wake cycle. If you leave the GNOME BT setting as ON however, and if you do a "systemctl stop bluetooth", BT will stay OFF following a suspend/wake cycle, presumably because the GNOME power management code thinks BT is already ON..., and so takes no action to enable it. Basically..., the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. My inclination is to pin this bug on the GNOME power management code at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1923323 Title: Bluetooth will not stay OFF upon resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/1923323/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
